PISA: Every three years globally and China did so well & Sputnik moment of education, and people are trying to figure it out the top five
China is the envied country (Surprising Shanghai from Harvard Education Press) so disappointing for him
China's education system has the best and worst educations combined
Why aren't the model minority happy? Asians 5% of population yet 20% of ivy league. However, they don't carry leadership positions in the workforce. Why is their still a glass ceiling? What about our eduction..East Asian education?
Why is America still here (from a historical perspective)? It has always been bad. Look at the data.
A Nation at Work, Two Million Minutes (movie)
Who made the America the most prosperous country/economy of the world?
Paradox - PISA data from his new book (math vs. entepreneurial capability), PISA has a negative correlation with entrep.
2003 TIMSS: American students are mathematically ignorant; confidence and enjoyment have a negative correlation with higher scores; confidence unerpinps the drive to innovate.
Common core for Lady Gaga? Curriculum is making a bet of what will matter in the future. it is selective. Common core is "college and career" ready.
Day of Empire, The Rise of the Creative Class (Why some areas become more prosperous than others: technology, diversity of talents (tolerance), and entrepenuerial capability (creativity). Creativity cannot be taught but it can be killed.
What matters? Do you allow exceptional talents to exist?
Gaps exist. What gaps matter? We need creativity. Manufacturing is being replaced by machines.
Business, social, intra, policy entrepreneurs (someone who is unhappy & makes a change) - you don't wait to make a difference (focus more if the human element), don't reduce education into a "sausage making machine"
Education is about enhanced human talents - the curriculum should follow the child, personalized & strengths based. School has to be product oriented with technology. Through designing, they learned. Not only about project based. It will happen beyond our walls. Global collaborators, not competitors.
Test scores don't matter. Help students to maximize their potential.
Session #2 10:30-11:30 High Tech High Student Work (Spotlight - Larry Rosenstock) @ 4 SDCC
Also have graduate school
Began in 2000
Math integrates better with Art
Public exhibition (last phase), thousands of people come, 3 times a year
Dependent upon the study group
Display of student work
Pure lottery, no AP, field work, "this could be me"
Identity in adolesence
Protocols from project zero, 55 minutes - can't talk until the last 5 minutes; rule of thirds - about correct forward and not judging
Paradox therapy (cigarette machine)
Digital identities: don't put restrictions on kids
Inverted school intentionally
Professional development & planning: teachers meet before school starts, institutes & residencies, project zero (how much do we know about student work)
Graduation speeches - First time someone asked me, "What do you think?"
Over emphasizes students talking
Challenges: anxious parents with math, anxious abo ut goi ng to great schools (predictability), 7k/year,
HS has 400, came from a small school, school size
Doesn't hold back...
College counselors: worked for a selective college office, 1st gen
Adisory groups (9-12), multiple-age groups - that could be ?'s, home visits, colleges all come recruiting
Odessy-Socratic method (like justice class at Harvard) in addition to project-based learning
No tenure. Young teachers. 10-12 of 400 teachers not returning; directors (principal) meet every Monday morning with Larry, rate teachers without names on a four scale...full hiring & firing power
Passion, purpose & play

Adam Bellow- An army on Twitter, believe you can make a difference, complex questions, band together, risk involved in freedom, make connections
Jonathan Blank-technology, pedagogy. Curriculum of the future: digital delivery,engaging software with great instructors, gaming (levels, badging), individualization, choices, brain science, open-source frameworks, success-based education, testing when ready.
Jac de Haan, techwithintent.com
Dave Edyburn - Goldilocks and the Library, wikipedia, simple wikipedia, text compactor (you tube video) for cognitively rescaling, Vozme (text to speech)...can convert to mp3, move to Google translator
Johnny Hamilton - researched based instructional strategies (without technology): non-linguistic representations (drawing tools, simulations), cooperative learning (web 2.0), concept maps. Change the map. seven blind mice - change the lens.
Summer Howarth - resetting the moral compass, you can make a difference, the face of the invisible hearts club, instagram, organic, message board
Erin Klein - big projects need big help, message your class (remind101), educreations, class connect, class dojo (grade 2),
Betty Ray - Design thinking (define the challenge, interpretation, ideation, experimentation, evolution) edutopia design camp
Ben Smith - Be creative. Need to give up control. Work backwards. Creative, communicate & collaborate, innovation, etc.
Allison White - igniting creativity, use tech as a thinking tool. Three main areas: authentic audience for purpose (students made their own e-books), social interaction (learn French, blog in character, gropon, voice thread, iMove commercials on web). Bridge logic and creativity.
